Sometimes, life is hard. I think I’m luckier than most in
this world, and yet I still struggle with my own demons. I suppose that’s true
of all of us, but not everyone faces the crushing weight of depression when things
go wrong. For my friend (and anyone else) who is struggling to stay afloat, I
want you to know, I’ve been there.

Depression isn’t something we like to talk about in our
society. Mental health in general is a rather taboo topic, perhaps because for
those with no history of mental illness, it seems as simple as a change in
mindset. But depression is very real, and often very difficult to control.
